A matter of principle

MR. AND MRS. J.E. WALKER
Bayfield Community Centre,
the couple left for a honeymoon
at Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina, The bride travelled
in a pale pink knit pantsuit
with navy accessories and a
corsage of pink carnations,
Guests attended the wedding
from Buffalo, New York; Van-
couver, B.C.; Brandon,
Manitoba; Brooklyn, Kit-
chener, St. Thomas, Clinton,
London, Teeswater, Wingham
and Kingsville.
Mr. and Mrs. Walker are
living in Wingham.
I suppose the corn and grain crop is practically all sown by now.
Those who sowed grain early this year certainly have prospects of
a bumper crop and those who planted corn and finished up their
grain after about three weeks of wet weather, are also in good
shape.
From what I've heard, there is still some corn and most of the
white beans to plant yet. I hope it's all done by the time this gets
to print but the weather will need to improve and good late har-
vest conditions will be necessary if returns are to be good.
Then of course there is the matter of market price.
I find it most confusing to try to predict the future. In the June
issue of the Free Press Weekly there is an article on page one
headed "Need Record Yields" It goes on to state that in Western
Canada, visible stocks of grain have been steadily diminishing
which means farmers haven't been delivering grain to the
elevators as fast as it is being sold. Some grain trade observers
have expressed concern that the 1973-74 crop year exports of
wheat barley and rapeseed may not read the maximum levels even
with bumper crops,
It is interesting to note that the "grain traders" are concerned.
As in the case of the handlers of farm products, a unit charge is
collected and the closer to capacity that their plants operate, the
more profit there is.
The price of the product makes little if any difference. It is
volume that counts. But it is the price that determines whether the
farmers survive or not. While a bumper crop is desireable for the
"trader" it could be disasterous for the farmer. The depressed
years for the Agricultural industry has not been caused by poor
crops (except in isolated small areas) but rather by a succession of
good crops on a world basis.
Is this the kind of prosperity that Canadian farmers are being
urged to attain by producing "Record Yields"?
The "maintenance crews" of Air Canada aren't putting
everything in such perfect shape that their services aren't needed
for extended periods from time to time in order to get a better in-
come.
But even more frustrating is the item on page six of the same
issue "The Price to Sell at" states "The U.S. Department of
Agriculture expects that grain purchases by the Soviet Union for
delivery in the 1973 crop year will amount to about half of the
1972 total, based on current crop conditions in the U.S.S.R.
The article goes on to state that crops in the European Common
Market area are reported as satisfactory and wheat production in
Middle East areas promises to be higher than last year The
drought in India has broken, Austria is still dry but increased
plantings are expected while Argentina conditions are the best in
years and a substanial increase in acreage is likely.
"In balance it would appear that the Canadian Wheat Board
should be actively selling all the wheat it can at around present
levels".
Just one more quotation: "Grain trade rumours also say that
the greatest benefactors of the St. Lawrence barley trade were the
Italians who purchased millions of bushels of barley around the
80 cent level and that some cargoes were traded about 15 times,
each buyer adding his profit until such time as the ultimate buyer
sold to the Italian feeder.
Ah! Well. Misery likes company. The Italian farmers must be
somewhat frustrated too!

Five of the top bowlers from
the Queen Elizabeth School
along with their teacher
Audrey Barlow and volunteer
scorer Marg Allison attended a
"Bowlerama" in Kitchener on
Friday, June 1,
This first tournament for
bowlers from trainable retar-
ded schools in Region 2 of the
association, was held at Vic-
toria Bowl, Kitchener, It is
hoped that this will become an
annual event,
UNSAFE
BEFORE BIRTH
A mother's womb is not
always the safe spot it should
be.
In an experiment with
pregnant rats, cigarette smoke
was blown toward the animals
five times a day for a daily
total of forty minutes. This ex-
posure simulated, at least in
carbon monoxide exposure, the
intake of a human mother
smoking a pack of cigarettes a
day or slightly more. Rats gave
birth after three weeks; and the
day before expected delivery,
the fetuses were surgically
removed from the womb.
The fetuses from the
"smoked" mothers not only
weighed less than those in a
control group but had smaller
brains.
Carbon monoxide is
damaging to embryos even if --
like chicks -- they are protected
by eggshells. At Rutgers, Dr.
James McGrath, associate
professor of environmental
physiology, constructed an in-
cubator to test the effect of car-
bon monoxide on hatching
chicken eggs. Into the in-
clubator he pumped air that in-
cluded a tiny portion, less than
a fraction of one percent, of car-
bon monoxide. Of the eggs not
exposed to the gas, 79 percent
hatched. Of those exposed, 13
percent hatched.
The chick embryos found
dead in the shell showed the
red discoloration,
hemorrhaging, and blood clot-
ting associated with carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Human mothers cannot be
used in experiments like these.
But pregnant women who
smoke have significantly more
stillbirths, spontaneous abor
tions, and prematiire births
than women who don't smoke.
The more an expectant mother
smokes, the more carbon
monoxide she absorbs into her
blood stream. One study in-
dicates that when a pregnant
woman smokes two packs a
day, it is the equivalent of
blocking off 40 percent of the
baby's oxygen supply.
To find out more about car-
bon monoxide and cigarette
smoke, contact your local
tuberculosis and respiratory
disease association. It's a mat-
ter 'of life and breath.
FRIENDS OF LIFE
Green plants and trees are
friends of life, quietly giving oft
the gift of oxygen, Silent friends
we should get to know better.
Survival is a delicate balance
for trees, just as it is for all
living things. Like people, trees
need enough air and water to
survive. They do not have lungs
for breathing, but there must be
an exchange of oxygen and car-
bon dioxide in the leaves as
well as in the roots. Anything
that disrupts that exchange
kills the tree.
Water-logged soil, for exam-
ple, blocks off the tree's oxygen
supply and drowns it. There is
not enough air in waterlogged
soil, and most trees grow best
when a fifth of the soil volume
is filled with air. The best
growth conditions are when
water loss through the leaves is
offset by water uptake through
the roots. Just how the water
rises. up through the trunk
against the tremendous force of
gravity is one more of a tree's
incredible triumphs.
Curiously enough, the very
center of a living tree -- its core
which is sometimes called hear-
twood -- is dead. The cells grow
around this dead core, and the
rings of growth tell the tree's
age. The cells survive on the
sugar made by the tree's leaves,
minerals taken up from the
soil, and tremendous amounts
of water, When conditions are
right, some trees can live for
three or four thousand years
and grow as high as a 40-story
skyscraper.
Recent studies of trees show
that air pollution is stunting
their growth and upsetting the
delicate balance. Air pollution
is also damaging human lungs.
Fighting air pollution and
helping living things survive is
one goal 'of your local tuber-
sulosis and respiratory disease
association, Contact them and
